Can Combine Icons 3.0.5
	Create custom icons for use as application folders, picture thumbnails or just desktop ornaments. Easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. Requires: Mac OS X 10.2

Introduction

The name doesn't give you enough? Anyway, that is just what it does. It combines several icons into one, in patterns you choose. It was designed for every-day use, and therefore enables you do create nice-looking, custom, icons on the fly.

Possible uses include:

• Custom folders for your applications or documents.
• Make your whole system coherent in style, when using a third party icon set.
• Create thumbnails for your pictures that can be viewed in any Finder view.
• Spice up your desktop with more colorful icons.
• Increase your system's usability by combining visual language with file names and text.

Version changes (detailed)

See what others have to say!

This is a major upgrade. A lot of cool new things such as drop shadow and many new icons have been added. There is now a category of icons called "Templates" which contains icons that can easily be used to create standard-looking icons of different sorts. Another cool thing is that there are new patterns that use OpenGL to create icons with cool 3D effects! In addition, the Library has an added feature that allows you to create your own categories to store your favourite icons in. To top things off, there are major performance gains throughout the application and some other bugs have been fixed.

Detailed information

Can Combine Icons includes a Library which contains many template icons that you can use as they are, or combine with other icons to create custom documents, preference panes, plugins, folders, disk images and a lot more. It also has a selection of hardware icons and useful symbols.

To make creating batches of similar icon designs easier, the program includes a feature allowing you to create all possible combinations of the dropped icons and save them to the same destination.
